Instructions

  1. Brew the coffee in the moka pot and take it off the heat when it starts to sputter.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk with the caramel sauce and a pinch of salt, whisking until the caramel dissolves and the milk is steamy but not boiling.
  3. Froth the milk with a whisk or handheld frother for about 20 seconds.
  4. Pour the coffee into a mug, add the milk and spoon the foam on top. Finish with a few flakes of salt and a small drizzle of caramel.

Tip: caramel sauces vary a lot in sweetness, so start with 1 tablespoon and add more after tasting.
